Chapter 314: The Lu Family
Shuangxi looked at this captain as if he had his own thoughts, and could only sigh, turning back to Ling Tianhan and shaking his head.
Zhu Xinghe thought that they were going to return home this time and go home.
Who knows, Ling Tianhan suddenly stepped forward, leaned over and said something in the official's ear, and the man's brows immediately wrinkled: "Who are you?" β
He suddenly asked, which made Zhu Xinghe's heart a little nervous.
Ling Tianhan took a step back, still looking cold: "It's just a passerby." β
The official looked at the officials behind him, and then made a way: "Release people!" β
"Captain?"
However, the official behind him was puzzled: "Why do you want to put them in?" β
The captain turned his head and glared at the person who spoke: "What, you have to ignore my orders?!" If I say release people, you will release them! β
Although the man had dissatisfaction in his eyes, he didn't say anything at all, and made a way.
When he followed Ling Tianhan into Sweet Water Village, even Zhu Xinghe was a little surprised: "How did you let them go?" β
Da Zhenhong also looked at Ling Tianhan curiously: "I have long heard of your ability, but now that I look at it, it is really extraordinary!" β
Ling Tianhan was not proud, and still said in an extraordinarily calm tone: "I just told him the truth, saying that we just came to find the Lu family." β
This man...... That's what you said?!
Zhu Xinghe's eyes widened and he became more and more puzzled: "But aren't they just guarding the gate of that village for the Lu family and Lu Siniang?!" I just can't figure it out! β
Ling Tianhan stretched out his hand and naturally grabbed Zhu Xinghe's hand.
Zhu Xinghe thought that Ling Tianhan, who had always been silent, would not explain so much to himself.
Unexpectedly, after a while, Ling Tianhan opened his mouth again: "That captain is different. I just tried it, but now that I look at it, he also sympathizes with the Lu family in his heart. β
He could tell the difference in the captain at once?
Now that Zhu Xinghe thinks about it carefully, he also feels that the captain's bearing is different from others.
But the more important thing is to go to the Lu family.
This has been guarded by officials for many days, and Sweetwater Village, which does not let people in or let people out, looks a little lifeless.
The sudden arrival of these outsiders made the villagers of Sweetwater Village curious. Every time they passed by someone, they had to look up and down at Zhu Xinghe.
Sweetwater Village is not big, so if you grab a person at random, you can ask where the Lu family is.
However, when he heard that they were going to Lu's house, the person who was asked for directions was shocked: "Who are you?" Why did you go to Lu's house? β
He saw that they didn't look like people from the government, but he was willing to say a few more words to them: "I can advise you, no matter what your purpose is, stay away from the Lu family!" β
Seeing that this person was still upright, Shuangxi also pulled him and continued: "Why? We just heard that the Lu family has good sorghum seeds and embroidery, and we want to buy some! β
"Heyβ"
The villager sighed and shook his head, as if he was also worried that the Lu family was not worth it: "They used to have it, but now they have nothing!" Since you are from Minzhou City, you have heard about it somewhat. Now the people in the government don't let the doctors outside enter the door, and the people of the Lu family can't be treated after being beaten, and they are all dying at home at the moment. No one in our village dares to look at them, so you strangers should not look for this trouble! β
Didn't even let me ask for a doctor?
Zhu Xinghe's brows furrowed fiercely.
Sungai also let go of the man, thanked him and gave him the money for asking for directions, and when the man left, he didn't forget to say a few more words to them: "Sorghum seeds are also available in neighboring villages, so you don't necessarily have to buy them in our Sweet Water Village." The Lu family really can't go! β
Zhu Xinghe understands his enthusiasm and understands his suffering.
However, their group still unswervingly headed towards the Lu family.
Zhu Xinghe originally thought that the Lu family had arrived in such a field, and there should be an official guard at the door.
But I didn't expect that when I arrived at the door of the Lu family, I saw that there was no figure at the door of the Lu family. Moreover, the courtyard door of the Lu family was open, but there was no sound inside.
In this way, this Lu family can be regarded as a wealthy family in Sweetwater Village.
The yards are much larger than those of the others, and the gates are more magnificent.
However, when he approached the gate and looked inside, Zhu Xinghe found that the courtyard was really dilapidated and withered.
It can be vaguely seen that there were flowers and some chickens and ducks in this yard in the past. However, at this moment, the yard seemed to have been smashed, and the flowers and plants were already scattered, and some of them were even dead.
In the corner of the yard, there are many corpses of chickens and ducks. The corpses had begun to rot and smell bad, and the yard smelled unpleasant, but no one took care of it.
Although the courtyard door was open, Zhu Xinghe and they couldn't enter at will, so they called at the door: "Is there anyone?" β
No one spoke at the door, and Sungai also stepped forward tentatively, and asked loudly, "Is anyone at home?" β
"Who-"
In the room, an old voice finally came: "Si Niang didn't come back, if she came back, she would definitely go to the government to tell you!" Please, don't come again! β
What kind of situation did the people in the official mansion force the Lu family to make people say such things?!
I wish Xinghe's heart is all together.
Seeing that Shuangxi was still about to speak, Zhu Xinghe stepped forward and motioned for Shuangxi to go down: "I'll come, I'll speak as a woman, so they can feel more at ease." β
Shuangxi nodded and retreated, and Zhu Xinghe stepped forward and said, "We are not from the government, we want to ask the villagers for a bowl of water to drink!" β
It was a woman's voice, and the door to the house was opened. Then they saw an old lady with a trembling cane come out of the door, her hair was gray, and her face was full of ravines and came towards them: "Come in the door, there is no one on the side, there is still a mouthful of water." It's just that the house is a little dirty, and I ask you not to dislike it. β
Although this Lu family is a peasant family, the etiquette rules are not bad at all.
Zhu Xinghe stepped forward and helped the old lady.
The old lady looked behind them and didn't see anyone in the official mansion, so she frowned at Zhu Xinghe: "Who are you?" β
Zhu Xinghe was stunned, and the old lady snorted coldly: "Our Lu family is not at the entrance of the village, and you will not pass by here even if you pass by." What's more, now that the village is sealed off, no one is allowed to enter, but you are here, so naturally you have come to our Lu family for something. β
